well guys i'm gonna just come out with it... I stink at being romantic...just ask my wife. I'm the type that will always get a card and stuff, maybe some flowers( although admittedly not enough) and yet while i'm fully aware i'm falling short of the mark - I can't seem to break out of the romance funk that i'm in. anyone got any decent romance ideas? - not to do with sex (although if that's the end result then it's all good) but just plain old school romance ya know... bare in mind i can't cook worth a damn so avoid suggestions to do with that...i'm looking for more original stuff...stuff that may of worked well for you or someone you know. thanks.
Sending her out with her friends, taking her out to do what she wants to do, usually works at my house. Also, if you're going to get flowers, have them delivered in front of her friends and/or co-workers. I know that's not much but I hope it helps.
cmiller, no need to quote the entire first post. We know you're responding to the first poster if you're the 2nd. aussie, cook her a nice [insert Australian favorite dish name here] dinner and surprise her when she gets home from work. Have candlelight dinner, mate.
Buy her a lawn mower for her birthday, and then make a card saying, "I love you mower and mower every day."
thanks dudes - yeah i really want to do something nice for her...especially since she just agreed to re-connecting pay television... more NBA for me this season!!
Romance is about the little things...Write sweet notes and hide them where she'll find them...Tell her you love her everyday, but show it too...cooking is ok, especially if you have kids, because she deserve a break...Who cares if its burned, its the thought that counts...Run a bath for her and have candles in there...Send her to a day spa as a surprise...Give her a massage, but not just as foreplay...Just a good massage as it'll relax her and maybe she'll initiate it... After all that, then hit it good...
hmmm, I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. I was dirt poor when I met my wife and found some creative ways to be "romantic." But, if you want to go all out... Have something of sentimental value delivered to her work. Not knowing you or your wife, I can't say what that is. Like, if y'all first met at a certain restaurant, get a coaster or something with the restaurant's name on it, put it in an envelope and have it delivered with some flowers to her job. The fact the flowers are delivered there will be enough, but having that extra touch will drive her and her co-workers crazy. Have a note talking about how you want to celebrate what started it all and say she is cordially invited to a nice place to eat and you will await her there at a certain time. (hell, maybe even the one you met at if that's the case.) Set up with that restaurant where you have a nice, secluded table somewhere. Well, as secluded as you can get. Get to the restaurant early to beat her there, be seated and wait. After the dinner, take her to a secluded area with water (pond, lake, river, doesn't matter) Hopefully, it's a nice, clear night. Bring some nice music and light snacks, maybe some easy, edible fruit she likes. Just sit there together and enjoy the quietness and talk. The quiet time to talk just to each other will REALLY be something she'll like. I hope that helps. The fact you are showing some thoughtfullness to try to spend some one-on-one time without distraction will win her over, and any little extra touches always help. Like rrj_gamzz said, it's all about the little things but, if you can wrap them all up into a nice, full evening; you'll both have a great night

But it was good. (Helps that it was a great song)
Death Cab - "I Will Follow You Into The Dark." Should be a mandatory play at every wedding. That was such a cute video.
My favorite version is the one with bunnies: <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7s2hPkTT1lA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7s2hPkTT1lA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
read about this trick. take her on a walk in hermann park, take a break at one of the picnic tables, then out of one of the bushes pull out a bouquet and a chilled bottle of champagne (don't forget the glasses). how you get the bouquet and champagne there? get your kids or friends to do it, or plant it yourself beforehand. just don't get busted for drunk driving.
....also "Brothers on a hotel bed" can be played at a gay wedding, and "Crooked Teeth" can be played at a redneck wedding.
Honestly? The most romantic thing I ever did to a woman was listen to her when she was talking, and then followed up on it, As sad as it may sound, when you've had sex with it, it tends to become unbelieveably annoying. All you really have to do is recall that it is actually a woman. Or failing that, a human. Then all will be fine. Speaking of which, two of my myspace its are headed over here right now. Should I brush my teeth? Chances are that it's doubtful...
